    G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a typical movie tie-in game and will likely appeal to kids or the kid within. If you are after a few hour of mindless distraction, there are far worse ways of spending it then on this game but the missed opportunity inherent in this G.I. Joe game is truly unfortunate.

    The game is nothing more than a video game based on a few interesting concepts from other noteworthy games and it does nothing more then slightly amuse the player for a couple of hours at most. Rent it or stay away from it. Not worth buying.

    While the taste of being the baddest m*thaf*ing bear to ever live grows on you after the first two hours, the game's numerous glitches make you wonder how many chances you'll give Naughty.

    I really am a sucker for a decent third person shooter but where MindJack wasn't mediocre, it was downright terrible. An interesting gameplay conceit was brutalized by bad design choices and even worse execution.

    Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2009 is a weak game from start to finish, with very few redeeming qualities. The poor gameplay even has the ability to leave you frustrated and tempted to turn your console off. If you’re a big hunter, or enjoyed the past offerings from Cabela’s and Activision, then you might consider trying it. CDH 2009 is a rental at best.

    If you can get past Iron Man’s head-scratching learning curve, what are you left with? A game that’s far from perfect, but still better than a lot of movie and comic book tie-ins that have come before ( *wink* Catwoman).

    Despite the stiff stealth/fighting mechanics, the mission's linearity and the trial/error experience, Prison Break: The Conspiracy somehow ended up being enjoyable. I'm sure Zootfly could have done something much better, but in the end, the final product was purposely done with the intention of giving the fans something incredibly easy to play.

    If you enjoy RTS games and realize this is an indie title that has brought a new gameplay style to the table you possibly could enjoy it, but this is also the type of game that requires you to be forgiving for design choices, the campaign and its lack of modern looking graphics.

    While I know there are plenty of other games out there worse than this, I at least wanted a compelling reason to play it. Unfortunately, there isn’t one. And, to top it off, the $60 price tag was just an insulting kick in the gut.

    It still has some elements that make it slightly enjoyable, but with the wealth of other experiences on XBLA, it's really hard to justify investing your hard earned Microsoft Points in a second hand toy.

    Any gamer over the age of 15 will be sorely disappointed with ugly visuals, bland gameplay, and a confusing story.

    MotionSports Adrenaline will inevitably find itself in the bargain bin a few months down the road, and you will see it...then pass it on by for that fresh copy of Bomberman: Act Zero.

    Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs offers fun gameplay but it lacks content and variety. While kids will have a blast fighting different dinosaurs and trade items with their pals, adults will have a hard time replaying the game once completed.

    This is certainly, alongside Rogue Warrior and Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, one of the worst games I've had to play during this generation of consoles.

    Gulti know how to design a fast and exciting shooter, that’s clear. However, the flaws here tend to outshine any glimmer of greatness 0 Day Attack on Earth may have had.

    There is no real value in this title because of the control, gameplay and difficulty issues. If a patch was released with a control upgrade for the classic controller and to fix other issues, I would say the game would be worth buying but not at the moment.

    Unfortunately, Blood Drive is both out of date and has already been done, only better. Sure, there are zombies in it, but zombies don't always equate a great game.

    Your enjoyment of Heavy Fire: Afghanistan will be directly proportional to your expectations. There is absolutely nothing that is exceptional about it, which, in my opinion, is just fine as the cost mitigates the quality. It functions as it should, and as long as you don't walk in expecting Call of Duty, your feelings won't be hurt. Much.

    Let’s face it, this isn’t the deepest experience out there, and in the end, your love of women in bikinis getting covered in the blood of the undead is really going to be the deciding factor as to whether or not you’re going to check this out. The premise works as great B-movie fodder, and based on the gameplay found here, probably should have been left as such.

    We often complain that the PSP doesn't get enough games but I would rather have fewer quality titles than something as bad as Dead or Alive Paradise.

    It's not that Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is completely broken, it's just that each and every aspect of it is so flawed that it results in an experience that is mediocre at best.

    As the E3 2009 RTS Award Winner from a couple of sites, you would have expected this game to rival what else was shown and there were some amazing games shown. Now we get to finally play the final game and it fails to even come close to greatness.

    Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is a great game when Kinect decides to obey to your actions, but when there are simply too many switches, levers, and buttons in the game for Kinect to decipher what you are actually wanting to do, it just makes the experience extremely aggravating.

    What started as a promising and interesting game quickly became boring and frustrating enough to earn a spot on the list of most forgettable games of the year.
